Music starts, "Che Che Cole" by

Willie Colon.

Everyone starts to dance.

our whole body wrapped like a ripe mango ramblin whippin thru space

on the corner in the park where the rug useta be let willie colon take you out

swing your head push your leg to the moon with me

i'm on the lower east side

in new york city and i can't i can't talk witchu no more

lady in yellow we gotta dance to keep from cryin

lady in brown we gotta dance to keep from dyin

come to share our worlds witchu

we come here to be dancin

to be dancin

to be dancin

baya
